    my solicitor told me my case must be sent down to the Personal injury board, but because of the extent of the injury I got the case wont be within their remit and thus they wont be able to deal with it.

    I know i should of asked my solicitor, but what is this remit he talks of? Is it a limit on the amount i can claim through the PIB?

    Is liability an issue? If so, PIAB can't deal with it. That's the most common reason. You answered your own question though - ask your solicitor.

    If i want to ask my solicitor it will involve me having a meeting which will cost me 70quid! And im not meeting him for a while yet.

    Yes its a liabilty issue, i just wonder why does it have to go down to the PIAB whhen its clearly a liabilty and cant be dealt with?

    The PIAB website says "PIAB will notify the person you hold responsible for your injury (the Respondent) of your intention to make a claim against them. The Respondent has 90 days to confirm that they are not disputing liability and are consenting to PIAB assessing your claim." http://www.piab.ie/howtomakeaclaim.html

    I don't think they deal with stress-related or psychiatric injury either.

    I assume this is a formality passing the claim to the PIAB for them to decide whether it is in their remit. It would have been more professional of the solicitor to make the reason clear. The PIAB website has plenty of useful information about the claims procedure, and the medical information and Book of Quantum will give you some idea of your case.
